BOAO, Hainan, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping promised China's contribution to peace and development of Asia and the world at an international forum here Sunday.

China will vigorously promote development and prosperity in both Asia and the world, Xi said when delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2013 held in Boao, a coastal town in south China's Hainan Province.

This is the first time Xi, who became Chinese president in March, has attended a multilateral diplomatic meeting in China.

"The more China grows itself, the more development opportunities it will create for the rest of Asia and the world," Xi said.

In the coming five years, the country's imports will reach about 10 trillion U.S. dollars and its outbound investment will reach 500 billion dollars, according to the president.

The number of its outbound tourists may exceed 400 million, he said.

President Xi also pledged that the country will continue to "properly handle differences and frictions" with relevant nations.

While upholding its sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, China will maintain good relations with its neighbors and overall peace and stability in the region, he said.

"Countries, whether big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, should all contribute their share in maintaining and enhancing peace," Xi said.

No one should be allowed to throw a region, even the whole world, into chaos for selfish gains, he said.
